Hello,

So this past Sunday, it was suggested to me that I check out Blue Smoke and being a fan of BBQ, I welcomed the idea with open arms.  I went for lunch/brunch, which they do offer; limited but they do offer a brunch menu.  Not sure how it is in other cities, but NYC is a big brunch city and I love it. Since there wasn't much BBQ on the brunch menu, I went for the Rib sampler.  I wanted the full experience of their selection of ribs.

 I have to say the ribs were great for ribs, but I also learned something, and that is, I like St. Louis style ribs the best.  Give it to me tender and saucy I say.  I know that the sauce is on the side and you can add as much as you want, but I don't think I am a fan of the spice rubs.  I got some Texas style ribs in the sampler and it sounded great with salt, black pepper, brown sugar, and paprika, but I didn't feel them so much as I liked the flavor of the St. Louis ribs.

But before the rib fest I described with a great side of mac and cheese, we started with fresh BBQ chips with blue cheese and bacon dip.  Man, talk about heaven, especially if you had a bit too much to drink the night before.  I thoroughly enjoyed what I ate there and if you'rein the mood for BBQ, in NYC, and around 27th street and Lexington avenue, stop by and enjoy some ribs and some sultry jazz with a modern dive like atmosphere.
